-
Heinz Tomhardt (SS-Obersturmführer, b. 1921 – d. 1946) was a company commander in SS-Panzergrenadier-Regiment 2.
-
He served under Kampfgruppe Peiper during the Ardennes Offensive (December 1944).

After the war, Tomhardt was implicated in the Malmedy Massacre, in which American POWs and civilians were murdered by elements of Kampfgruppe Peiper near Baugnez crossroads. He was sentenced to death at Dachau in 1946, later commuted to life imprisonment.

His appearance in this album adds a direct and rare connection to one of the most infamous war crimes of WWII.

This album documents men and moments from a frontline SS-Panzergrenadier company just weeks before their participation in the Ardennes Offensive, making it a unique primary source.

Dr. Hans Lipinski – SS-Flak-Abteilung 18 “Horst Wessel”
€60,00Original Postwar Signature on a Postwar Photo & Letter of Dr. Hans Lipinski. SS-Hauptsturmführer Dr. Hans Lipinski (20.02.1916 † 17.08.1998) earned the Ritterkreuz on January 2, 1945 as SS-Obersturmführer und Führer of the 1. Batterie/ SS-Flak-Abteilung 18 “Horst Wessel” of the 18. SS-Freiwilligen-Panzergrenadier-Division “Horst Wessel“. Condition as seen.
Knight’s Cross: “Early on the 10.12.1944 SS-Obersturmführer Lipinski, Batterie-Führer in the Flak-Abteilung 18, prevented a breakthrough by 22 enemy tanks into the deep flank of the IV. Panzer-Korps. At the time he was providing flank protection from the village of Szecseny. During the enemy attack he personally shot up 6 T-34s in the space of 50 minutes.
Through his brave conduct he inspired the rest of his Batterie to act likewise, despite the fact that some of them had wanted to abandon the position. This resulted in the destruction of a further 7 tanks by his men.
This deed by SS-Obersturmführer Lipinski was of decisive importance insofar as he prevented the seizure of Sczecseny (located in the deep flank of the Korps) and thereby the cutting off of several German units.
In addition to this, SS-Obersturmführer Lipinski also personally destroyed another 2 T-34s near Jaszbereny (Hungary) on the 15.11.1944.”
